Abstract
Ergoline alkaloids do not belong to a group of physio ogically inert secondary metabolites. Ergometrine as well as ergotamine increased the acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity and inhibited the activities of citrate synthase and isocitrate lyase. The slightly inhibitory effect of ergotamine and stimulatory effect of ergometrine on malate synthase was established. Supplied ergometrine brought about a change in the culture growth rate,i.e. inhibition (10−4 m) or stimulation (10−3 m). Addition of 10−4 m ergometrine to the culture ofClaviceps paspali MG-6 increased the total alkaloid yield by 120%. The stimulatory influence was inversely proportional to the concentration of added alkaloid. It is assumed that accumulating alkaloids suppress attainment of the yield that would be achieved by continuous control of the alkaloid level. A positive relationship is assumed between the process of alkaloid synthesis and the viability of the culture.
